First, let me start with this - i understand that this is an online forum and i am taking it for what it's worth, but i feel that this place is a little bit more mature in general, so i figured i might give it a try here.
You never know how life may surprise you.
So - to the task at hand!

For the better part of a year i have been building my own film production studio in Latvia (Europe) with the goal of creating a modern production company that would encompass various directions of our industry.
Right now i have finished about 80% of the construction work for the actual 900 sqft (83 sqm) studio space. The studio will have 8 different video production sets, including an audio booth, a product photography set and a pro level video editing workstation.

Obviously a production studio means nothing without the proper gear, so to address this issue, 6 months ago, i applied for a EU funding project and my (200+ page business plan including gear spec pages) was received so well, that it got the highest possible marks and was accepted as the Nr.1 Project to support this year in my region.

Quote:

This EU funded project would allow me to buy professional gear for 32 000 EUR with a 70% refund from my government, meaning i will be able to buy said gear for only 10k.If your are interested in the actual gear i plan to buy, let me know - i will post a list (it's quite extensive - covering cameras, lenses,audio, lights, stands, post-production etc.)

Obviously 32k is a relative number - i can get a truck load of gear for it or i could blow it all on 1 cine lens and it wouldn't even be enough to buy a RED weapon brain, so I chose to go the smartest (most balanced) route at the beginning which was to keep it light / mobile yet still professional enough to land bigger client projects and definitely more then enough for YouTube content.
My plan is to acquire gear in 2 stages - this would be Stage 1 and in Stage 2 i plan to upgrade to a C200 mk2 or C300 m2 setup (or the equivalent of that) to up the production quality.

NOW... here we come to the reason i am making this post - unforeseen life events.

Obviously starting a new company and building a studio is not easy, it requires a great deal of time, energy, planing and funds. For more then 13 years i'v had my own business and i was always filming just on the side, but 1.5 years ago i transitioned in to full time filmmaking and left my business in the capable hands of my family members.
So the plan was to finance the Production studio and the EU project from my other business and everything worked out as planned until one fatal day when my old business burned down. Yeah... the factory building actually catched fire and burned down destroying my income source.

Who could have predicted that?!
I guess the only positive thing i can take away from that is - now i have all the time i need to build the production studio.

SO... Let's get to the actual point!

Quote:

Because of said unforeseen events i am looking for an investor or possibly a business partner who is willing to invest 32 000 EUR.

I would prefer the investor route with guaranteed return of 70% of the investment made within 3 months and the other 30% within 12 months. Obviously there would be all necessary security measures in place like shares of the company and contracts.

As an investor you would be granted shares of the company and guaranteed a profitable return of your investment, but after the investment + your interest is paid of the shares would transfer back to me.

I would partner up with someone who is already somewhat established as a filmmaker, but you would have to invest in the company either way.

As a partner however you would bring more to the table then just funds, so you would get a larger share of the company and we would work together on various projects. Obviously this would be a long term relationship and profits would be split accordingly.

So with this being said - if you have read this post and you are interested in my proposal, then we can talk more specifically.

Other then that, if there is no one on this forum who has the means or interest to do business, then at least i hope i provided you with entertaining material to read and maybe you even got a little glimpse in to the business world in case you ever want to start your own.

Thanks for your time either way.

With Regards,
RL_Sensei
